If you haven’t experienced the chaos and brilliance that is the Diamond Dash, do yourself a favour. Picture this: two boats, one diamond-shaped course, going in opposite directions. Each team tries to complete two massive 270-degree turns while navigating tides, currents, and sheer confusion, in triangular fashion. It’s dragon boat’s answer to rodeo barrel racing. A full-blown sweep’s challenge and a proper test of timing, tactics, and nerve for paddlers. And we loved every second of it.
